1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThere are currently few pre-operative predictors of initial and long-term weight loss following bariatric surgery.

objectivesWe evaluated the role of pre-operative patient characteristics and baseline gut and adipose-derived hormones in predicting maximal total body weight loss (WL

methodsOne hundred five adult patients undergoing primary RYGB were prospectively recruited. Baseline demographics were recorded and fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), insulin, glucagon, leptin, active ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) levels were measured on day of surgery.

resultsOur cohort had a mean age of 44.4 ± 13.0 years, and initial BMI (body mass index) of 45.1 ± 6.7 kg/m

conclusionsIncorporation of baseline biological and hormonal markers may help in developing more accurate predictive models for weight loss following bariatric surgery that help inform patient counseling and decision-making.
